Hot Ink Slot Review – Demo, RTP & Features

Step into the Hot Ink video slot and feel the thrill of the tattoo chair without the pain. This well-built game meets Microgaming’s high standards.

OK, all jokes aside, Hot Ink is pretty well-built, and you’ll see right from the get-go that the game incorporates Microgaming’s high standards of development.

High-definition graphics, an exciting musical soundtrack, and good win potential help to make the gameplay pretty exciting, and there’s a ton of work going into the game, most visible perhaps by looking at the symbols themselves.

Rather than filling the slot with traditional playing card symbols, including Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace, like is so often the case with slots today, Microgaming has, instead, chosen to use game-specific symbols, and these include a variety of common tattoos (Love Hearts, and text), and there’s also a Tattooist, a Tattoo Chair, and a couple of women, both we assume, are about to get “inked”!

Game Features

There are two bonuses to be on the lookout for in Hot Ink, and the first is the Tattoo Bonus game which is triggered by landing three of the “Tattoo Bonus” scatter symbols anywhere in view during the main, regular base game. Once you manage, you’ll be taken to a screen that displays three tattoo books.

Your job is simply to pick the books and hope they all reveal identical symbols. If they do, you’ll be awarded 10 free spins, during which a 2x multiplier is applied to all wins. And if the books reveal different symbols, all’s not lost because you still get a coin win for each symbol revealed.

Now, while we mentioned free spins, it’s worth pointing out that’s not the main free spins bonus, and to get the “proper” feature, you need to land three, four, or five of the Koi Fish scatter symbols anywhere in view in the main base-game. Doing so awards you with 20 free spins, and during the spin, all wins are subject to a 2x multiplier. In terms of creativity, it is possible to re-trigger the free spins, which is always a perk!
